I'm not a fan of Incognito, he's a punk. However, there is about 1800 players in the NFL. There is always going to be bullies, racist, homophobes and criminals. It is going to be up to his teammates and management to control his ignorance.

Ralph was cheaper with coaches than he was with players. That really was the problem.

So am I to believe that there are athletes that troll for women in bars and there are women who troll for athletes? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

This thread is incredibly depressing.

At how first press conference.

There has been a great deal of questionable performances. Oh, wait you meant the new server.

So what part of that makes C. J.Spiller a punk?

I'll bet Wegmans sold a ton of those, brilliant.

I'm sorry, I just can't root for the Pats. I think if they were playing the Taliban I'd have to root for the Taliban.

If what you mean by "read option" is Orton taking the option to lay on his couch and read instead of playing football, then yes "our" offense will flourish.

You forgot Aaron Maybin.

Not that hard, just deflate the balls a couple of pounds.

Why not just convert Paul Costa from tackle back to TE?

Why do I have a phobia when it comes to Penn State Players?

I agree unbelievable stupid.

In 1961 he had $400k he was willing to lend, for all intents and purposes, to a bankrupt franchise. I'm guessing it wasn't all the money he had. Ralph was already a wealthy man when he bought the Bills. The Bills made him much wealthier. They also generated a considerable profit for him annually. Does your house generate a considerable profit for you?

Ralph Wilson inherited an Insurance company from his father. He also owned radio, TV stations, manufacturing and mining interests. He loaned the Raiders $400K in 1961 which presemt value would be about $3.2m. His entire wealth was not tied up in an illiquid asset.

Kaepernick was fined for a racial slur. He claimed he didn't do it. The official said he did. Being fined is not the same as being black balled. Black balling is denying ones ability to work, that is going to bring a law suit.

Just for clarification, Sherman and Lynch don't work for the NFL. They work for Paul Allen and the Seattle Seahawks. If Sherman and Lynch were bad mouthing the Seahawks I could see them being fired. Unless there are specific rules regarding expressing opinions about the league they can't force Allen to do anything. Paul Allen could tell the league and the other owners to go to hell. If you don't think that happens Google Al Davis. We live in a very litigious society, if the league started pressuring owners to blackball players for speaking negatively, at some point they would get sued. That kind of law suit could jeopardize the NFL's anti-trust exemption. They would never take that chance.

Thanks, a good read.

How do you really feel? I happen to agree. I don't think I could have stated it quite so eloquently.

So your supposition is that the Patriots unwittingly have a process with their footballs that inadvertently results in a lower than legal PSI. The PSI of the footballs used by the Colts is meaningless because they don't go through the same process. Is anyone buying that the Patriots didn't know what the end result of the process would be?

I agree with all of this. I can't imagine anything less.

Just great!

So why are franchises not held to the same standard as the players? Isn't this a pattern of cheating? A second offense if you will. Doesn't that get a suspension?
